Job Description
Our flagship product is our first priority right now, and while it is working great - I would love to see how you can make it AMAZING. We are dedicated to providing the tools, atmosphere, and team to make your job fun - and in the process we get lots of work done! Our clients are post-secondary institutes across the globe - they are amazing people to work with and you will be a part of a global change happening right now in education, health care, and technology - helping our clients be delighted in the transition from using paper to web/mobile systems built by you. Here's what will indicate that you're the right person for our team:
- you come up with crazy software ideas in your sleep
- you want to work towards a stake in a great company, not just a 9-5 job
- you are passionate about the quality of your work
- when you say, "I'll take care of it" or "it will be done tomorrow" - you mean it
- when you see a problem, you fix it without needing to be told
- you know from experience that the easy way is hardly ever the best way
- friends and employers would describe you as a quick learner and a self-starter, with motivation to spare
We have a small team, so much of your own testing is required, but we also do in-house testing with team members who also perform support and training functions.
